ATIConfig results in a Segmentation Fault when I run it. Have tried manually adding the driver to xorg.conf and doing the "aticonfig -tls=1" trick but when I reboot I end up going back to the command line as Xserver says it cannot find any screens. Using the open-source drivers again now until some more people have tried 8.10 incase I had installed it wrong.

One thing I did notice is that an extra "modaliases" .deb package is generated when I build the packages.

Running ubuntu hardy, kde 4.1 and Mobility Radeon M10 (9600)

I will have to roll back to F8, or switch distributions entirely... not a good thing either way. F9 (Xorg 7.4) is unstable as the result of XServer 1.5 - radeon(hd) drivers interaction crashing X (when using EXA the crash is very well defined to pan images larger than the viewing area, without it, the crashes are more "random"), though I seem to be of the few (very few it would seem) experimenting this issue with both drivers (radon and radeonhd), so no fgrlx for me, means I most likely will roll back. :-/

Ubuntu? Get serious! They do not contribute much back upstream (until fairly recently, that is)

a) remove all old arch common x* dirs completely
b) create a new common dir, put etc lib opt usr from 8.543 in there the rest just copy to extracted 8-10 dir
c) rename x740 to x710 and x740_64a to x710_64a
d) now you can execute
